Haha - I'll let ya know the next time Im headin to Byron,

As far as future mods...performance wise I'll probably get a Weiland intake manifold and FAST TB. I'll be in the 410-430 range and that'll be it. This is a daily driver including through chicago winters. Heads are staying stock.

Thanks for the compliments guys....couple more vids being uploaded.

I have no idea how you drive that sh1t though....spintech alone is loud as hell, let alone with all the work you have done

I love the head turns. My gf claims she had an 86 station wagon that sounded exactly the same because her muffler fell off.

Another video w/ my best hardass waddle and Speedo jump (unfortunately it didnt make it to 200mph like in days past)

Made it through two so far. Its not pretty. The first year my summer BFG's never came off. The few times I was caught driving in snow was suicide. I'm lucky to have made it through that first winter. Last year was much better w/ my snow tires. Only got stuck w/ my hancook's twice last year.

just saw the tags. Nice.

DrFabulous · 08-05-2008, 01:37 PM

God damn that sounds nice.

kse73 · 11-13-2008, 05:49 PM

Last videos of the year.... along with winter wheel shot. Too bad they're not orange, eh?

stewartfn18 · 11-13-2008, 06:07 PM

notsoaveragej0e · 11-13-2008, 06:18 PM

I like when the speedo shot to like 78 then back to 68 as soon as the wheels hooked up

DrFabulous · 11-13-2008, 06:19 PM

Its fine as long as you take it easy on the gas. Sometimes you have to take traction control off just to get going. But once you're moving its all smooth sailing.
